How can I find a good church to attend?
​
Several days ago in a conversation, a friend of mine asked the question, “Randy how can a person, who has never attend church, find a good church? I began to tell him, how I would go about finding a good church. Then he said those that have never been to church, how is it possible to find a good church to attend. I then began to tell him that I believe that the Spirit of God will direction them to the church where he should attend. When we look at the way that we are directed to salvation, I know he can lead us to the right church. However I began to ponder those words and realized that we also don’t always listen to the Spirit of God. We have a habit of doing what feels good to us or follow our friends to where they attend church. Then the question began to form in my mind and spirit, “How can a person who has never attend church assure himself that he will be attending a good church.” I search and found an article on this subject on gotGuestions?org. Remember one things there are no perfect churches out there, to attend These are but a few insights to finding a good church, there are many more. But maybe this article can help you, in your search.
​
What is being preached? The Bible is clear that we should only listen to those who preach the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
​
Galatians 1:6
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
​
Make sure the church you attend follows the Bible teachings of Jesus, not adding anything that may head you in the wrong direction.
​
Is the church a place of fellowship and community?
​
Acts 2:42
And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
​
Is the church focused on reaching out to others, outside the church, with the message of the gospel and practical service?
​
Matthew 28:19-20
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
​
Can I grow into a mature Christian attending this church?
​
2 Timothy2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, right dividing the word of truth.
